In the first place, for those whose prayer is one of praise, if their whole life is to assume a prayerful attitude they must carry this praise and gratitude into the smallest details of life, and feel grateful for the slightest act of kindness done to them by anybody.

Man falls very short of this ideal in life; he is so stiff, he misses so many chances of giving thanks. It is sometimes because of his riches, while at other times he is blinded by his power; all that is done for him he thinks is his due because of his money or his influence. When a man has been able to attain this attitude of praise and thanksgiving for all things in life, then his life may indeed be called a prayerful life.
Those who express a hope when they pray can turn their everyday striving into prayer, provided they maintain this hope in every pursuit of life, putting their trust in God, and provided they consider all the objects of their desire as coming from one and the same source when they have gained them.
Those people who glorify God for His beauty, should see the beauty of God in all His creatures. It is of no use to praise God for His beauty, and then to criticize and find faults in His creation; for one's life to be prayerful one must always seek the good in man.

Even the worst man has a good spot, and this should be sought and not the bad points. We can learn virtue even from the greatest sinner, if we consider him as a teacher. There is a tradition that Moses asked Satan to tell him the secret of life.
Those who glorify God for the greatness of His power must be able to see greatness in His creation. There are some who so pride themselves on their power, position, and money, that they cannot see the greatness in another. For these it is of no avail to worship God for His greatness; it is only lip service.
As for the fifth class of people, those who realize the truth of their being, they recognize their God-ideal in all of His creation. They see their divine Beloved in all manifestation, in every name and form.
